RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 desktop GPU launch reportedly delayed again

A previous leak stated Nvidia would show off the RTX 5060 Ti sometime in the coming days. Its laptop counterparts, on the other hand, weren't scheduled to arrive until May. A new report from Board Channels now says the desktop RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti have also been delayed to around that time.

The RTX 5060 Ti will now be shown off in mid-April, and the RTX 5060 will surface a month later. An exact reason for the delay hasn't been specified, but one can safely assume Nvidia is still struggling with stocks. Unlike the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, which cater to a niche of high-end PC builders, the xx60 class cards sought after by far more people on a tighter budget.

Plus, it is clear Nvidia's Blackwell launch isn't going as planned. The RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 delay might, in part, be driven by additional verification measures to ensure that each SKU has all of its ROPs. Given their positioning in Nvidia's stack and low TDP, burnt power connectors should not be a concern, but there have been rumours about their laptop variants being afflicted by software issues during production.

A delayed RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti will give AMD more time to push out its equivalent Radeon RX 9060 XT series, which, like the latter, is said to come in 8 and 16 GB flavours. That leaves us with the RTX 5050, the only GDDR6 equipped SKU of the lot. Originally scheduled to debut at the end of April, it, too, might get delayed by a month.
